Now who is behind this "cost control" you are talking about?I know who it is,do you?Some big corporation that I wont name decided in the early 1970s that the United States would be the low cost food provider to the world.Its not that the corporation will suffer from this,its the farmer that is suffering from this decision.How did they do this?By manipulating"commodity"prices paid to the farmer.What did that do to farmers?Broke about 3/4 of them since the early 1970s.Who is responsible for this bankrupting farmers and creating "corporate"farms?The CBOT and the crooks manipulating it. Get out your check book huh?I live about 1/10 of a mile from corn field that goes for a long ways.I can see wild geese year round.I see deer all the time,I almost hit one with a mowing machine a couple of days ago,and there are squirrel and rabbits and turkey to hunt.There are people I know that have cows,hogs and chickens.Just a few miles from here you can get out your check book and buy Buffalo meat if you want it. If you go to the grocery store,even out here in the country,a package of steak is about 5 dollars a pound.Last I checked farmers were getting less than a dollar a pound for slaughter cows,and this beef in the grocery store did not come off of a good slaughter cow,it came from the cheapest old bag of bones they could find somewhere. So what are you talking about?I dont care what you pay for it you are going to get ripped off by the store.The only way to get good beef is if you can buy some from a farmer that grows them himself.Wonder where the good beef goes?My guess is that its exported to Europe or someplace. If I say we ought to reject the way animals are being raised because the meat doesnt even taste like meat any more.That we ought to raise them like they were raised for thousands of years if not millions of years so it wont kill us to eat them.Then you say get out your check book?Well then lets do it this way.If you want to eat that high priced garbage fine.Maybe you ought to not be allowed to eat anything else.What the heck its only money,right.You make more of it by selling nasty tasting meat,is that what you mean?I think a better way is to have way smaller herds like we always had.Lots more small farms,towns,and better country than we do now.Then the food would get better,we would all probably loose weight and live longer,and some big corporation plan to control everything will mean exactly nothing,as it always should have. Yeah things were never perfect.Yeah there were people that were poor farmers.Yet to turn our lives into what they are becoming so some corporation can make more money is wrong.Its against everything that makes sense.Sooner or later when you mess up the food supply it is going to come back and bite you.If there isnt a revolt,it could be a disease that wipes out all of the animals,including us.Growing things unnaturally like is being done could cause that to happen. I grew up on a farm.Seeing what is going on with farming today is disturbing to me.Maybe you dont know any better,I dont know.Its a good thing what farmers are still around can continue to raise what they do.Yet how long can they survive with the idiot way commodity prices are being handled?How many bad years can we have before we starve? I think about this stuff and then in some crazy way it kind of makes sense it is like it is now.Man is turning into a bad thing that only cares about money.Its dragging everything into like a whirlpool in the drain before it all goes down the sewer.Yeah there were always bad people.Yeah things have gone bad before.Yeah we have been in worse shape before.Its a real shame for us to advance to where we are,then go crazy and ruin everything,because of money.I dont get it.There is a lot further that we should be able to go.We could get a lot better than we are.Something keeps dragging us back and sooner or later its going to get overthrown with no regard to what happens to it.And it will be its own fault because of the way it tried to make things go its way.I guess it would be evil thats the problem.Its so sneaky its hard to tell all the time. So if you think things ought to be this way,I think you should get out your checkbook to keep things going on this path.Growing animals like we do,feeding them stuff that might not be hormones,but sure makes them grow fast and taste bad.You should pay all of us for putting up with what you have become.

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
